High Intensity

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling towards you. You reach down and flip the tortoise on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly is baking in the hot sun. Beating its legs, trying to turn himself over. But it can't, not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
You're watching an old movie. It shows a banquet in progress. The guests are enjoying raw oysters. The entrée consists of boiled dog.
You see an oversized book with pictures of exotic animals on the cover. The title is "Big-Game Hunting in Zaire" Curious, you flip it open. There's a picture of a man standing with his foot on a dead Cape buffalo. You find yourself fascinated. You keep paging through it, seeing picture after picture of animals laid to waste. Each more gruesome than the last.
You've been kidnapped. Your captors tell you that you'd better think about what you did to deserve this.

You rent a mountain cabin. On a wall, someone has hung old maps and Currier & Ives prints. A deer's head is mounted above the fireplace. A full stag with developed horns.
You're going to die. It may be soon. Death, the grave, rot.
You're on a farm. You get into the pen to feed the pigs. In their excitement, the animals knock you down into the mud. Using a butcher knife, you slit the throat of the nearest sow. You're covered in blood as you stumble to your feet.
What do you think it's like, to be a Replicant?
